With these files you can make a complete set of the session. With takes 1-25 on disk one at 40:50 and takes 26-44 along with the 2004 composite on disk two at 51:32. Most clicks removed, 2/3 of the count ins removed
talking and humming amplified. Sourced From the Studio '69 Collectors Set
which contains these sessions in their unaltered form.

Notes: 3-19-2005. My take numbers are not actual take numbers but rather the number of take included on this set not to be confused with collectors’ data. Tracks 32-44 were re-edited due to the originally sourced files having been found to be flawed with tiny micro gaps. New source files where found for replacements to the "Studio 69" set
and those replacements have been edited to fix the "Mannish Boy Session Edit" bonus disk included with the originally seeded "Studio 69" Data sets.
